In depth
Verdict
On official ratings at least, Pyrrhic looks a good thing but he does appear to have a touch of temperament about him and the form of his recent second in a Musselborough maiden is hardly rock solid. Saraaf has been in fine form over seven furlongs but there have been excuses of late and he is given the tentative vote here. Jockey Fergal Lynch is in fine form at the moment and his confidence should see him through. Adobe is a frustrating character to catch right. He is capable of popping up today if reproducing last season's form but he is arguably a much more viable betting proposition in larger fields than this.
